Since the introduction of Christianity in Tropical Africa in the 15 th century and later in the 19 th and 20 th centuries, there has been several responses by Africans to the Gospel in their midst. The variety of responses is viewed by scholars as manifestation of religious independency and innovation in Africa. They portray the development of a Christianity rooted more self-consciously in African culture and contributing to a richer world-wide interpretation of the Gospel. These responses have been described variously as African Initiatives (AICs) in Christianity, 1 African Independent, Indigenous, Initiated and Instituted Churches. These terms underscore the fact that the churches were started by Africans and have retained African ethos and their theology has a distinct African flavour. They have therefore contributed to inculturation of the Gospel in the African context. Many of the major AICs emerged which during the colonial era, were not only established to respond to spiritual needs but also other existential needs. The churches perceived their roles as holistic and hence established schools, health clinics, and agricultural activities and resistance against colonialism. In the post -independence era, some of the churches have continued with this mission, while others have continued to be churches of the poor whose focus is other worldly. This paper endevours to investigate to what extent selected AICs in Kenya have sought to promote social transformation. It hopes to examine the sermons, testimonies, teachings and songs. The paper contends that, AICs mobilise their members and audiences to become agents of social transformation. Data will be sourced from both primary and secondary sources.
